Former major leaguer David Segui may be required to testify in the Roger Clemens perjury trial, against his wishes.

Prosecutors want Segui to speak about a 2001 conservation he had with Clemens' former strength coach, Brian McNamee. McNamee supposedly told Segui about saving waste from injecting players to satisfy McNamee's wife.

Relating that information would be consistent with McNamee's testimony as to when and why he saved evidence after allegedly injecting Clemens with steroids that year.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton is expected to rule Thursday about whether Segui must testify.

Earlier Wednesday, former Yankees trainer Gene Monahan testified about a letter he wrote in 2000 to Yankees manager Joe Torre and general manager Brian Cashman about Clemens' relationship with McNamee. At that time, the Yankees were hiring McNamee as an assistant strength and conditioning coach to specifically work with Clemens.
